Menus May 16th - May 31st

Ok here's the menus for the next two weeks. As always this is what I use to make my grocery list from and remember that I don't always follow the day to a tee, if I feel like I can just substitute one day for the other, it makes no difference.

Now you may notice that some of the items on the menu are the same from last week, that's because I either ended up NOT making them last time or we went out to eat or something, that's why there are some repeats.

Now for tonight I'm making my own recipe. It's sort of a jambalaya. I was trying to figure out what to make with leftover chicken and smoked sausage that I had, when I started adding my own ingredients and it actually turned out REALLY good. Hubby couldn't get enough and the kids also loved it.

As always, you know that I'm not one to measure things, I eyeball everything, so just stick with me here LOL

1 lb chicken tenders, cut into bite size chunks (or if you have leftover roast chicken you can use that)1 lb smoked sausage, sliced1 small onion, diced1 1/2 cups of prepared rice (I usually cook mine separately and then add it to the pan).Old bay seasoning to tastesalt and pepper to taste2 tsps crushed garlic1 bay leafchicken broth

I start off my putting about 1 tbsp of olive oil in a pan. Then I add my onions, chicken and sausage and my seasonings. Cook it over medium heat until chicken is brown and cooked through, add about 1 cup of chicken broth and continue cooking for about 15 minutes. You may need to add more broth to keep it from sticking. Like I said, just eyeball here.Once that is done, you take your cooked rice and add it to the pan. Stir everything together and check the seasonings, may need more salt or old bay seasoning etc. Remove from heat, remove the bay leaf, sprinkle with fresh parsley and that's it.

Let me tell you, I couldn't believe how good it turned out. As always if you try it, let me know :)

I love it, and will be getting some great ideas from you...thanks for stopping by our blog. I'd like to link if you don't mind... For Jamie, I've seen Old Bay at most of the supermarkets around here--usually on the top shelf. Look near the BBQ sauce or marinades, or try the spice aisle.
